Had my Dr pre-op appointment this afternoon. Dr. Wieland took plenty of time to answer all my questions and told me I should always feel free to call his office if I ever have any questions. He said his number should be on speed-dial so if I am at the grocery store and have a question about a product, I can call. He said they are there for me and to use them. After reading the forums here I had a page of questions for the Dr. One important question I asked him was about Biotin for hair loss. He said if I am eating the correct amout of Protein, that I should not suffer any hair loss. Hair loss can happen when Protein grams go below 30 per day. I also asked about band slippage. He assured me that if the band is placed in the right spot that slippage should never happen.     I also spent time with his nurse, John, who went through the do's and dont's before and after surgery. We discussed diet and John answered all my questions about different foods. John told me no lifting more than 10 pounds for 3-4 weeks post-op until the Dr clears me. So, it will be a bummer that I cannot pick up Anna. However, down the road I will have more energy and feel like playing with her. I had forgot to ask the Dr about the different sizes of the band but John told me that the Dr would make that decision at the time of the surgery. He will have sizes to choose from and pick the one that will work the best for me.   My surgery is at 7:00 am on June 13th and I have to be at the hospital by 5:00 am. Will be an early morning, but I will be the first surgery of the day so it will be all worth it. I will be staying overnight, but the insurance company will classify it as outpatient because I will only be there 23 hours which starts after recovery.   I will start my low carb, low calorie pre-op diet on June 5th.

The insurance co (Health Alliance) denied me, so my Dr sent in an appeal. I was denied again. Then my Dr's office said for me to do an appeal. They said sometimes the insurance companies just need to hear the patient wants the surgery and that the Dr is not out for the money. I was able to do a phone call appeal, which I did the same day as I got the second denial. Much to my surprise and the surprise of the Drs office I was approved. I think we had all given up. However, due to a new position at my job, I could not get my surgery scheduled until Wednesday, June 13th. I will be staying in the hospital overnight and then home the next morning. I will take the following week off from work and should be good to go back to work on June 25th.

I am in the beginning stage. I went to a seminar in April 2011 but just saw the lapband Dr in September. After the seminar, I told myself I could lose the weight on my own...WRONG. So basically I wasted almost 4 months. Anyway, as a requirement for my insurance I have to undergo a doctors weight management plan for six months, which I start October 11, 2011. At this point, my surgery will be next year in late April or early May. I am trying to get all my ducks in row now and I am researching everything and everywhere I can regarding the surgery.

And So It Begins

I had my surgery on May 15th, 2012.   At 40 years old, I have been fat, well, my whole life. I was put on my first diet at age 4. I can never remember a time when food was not a focal point of my daily life. My thoughts and actions have been consumed by food forever. I have been on every diet known to man. I have always failed. I must say, I went into this surgery kicking and screaming (at least to myself). I was afraid of what life would be not focused on food. I may actually have to think about other things.   However, I realize for my health and longevity that the surgery would be the best thing for me. I have a husband and 2 children that have paid the price for my food addiction. It was time for me to think more about them, than myself. I mean, I do love them more than I love myself. Right? What a completely selfish person I am and have been. Of course, I love them more than anything in this world. It's just up until May 15th, food always won out over everything in my life.   I was willing to prove to them and me that I cared enough about them to risk my life to have this surgery. A bit melodramatic, maybe. But if you knew my history (died during childbirth), then you would know why I am so fearful of surgeries. I had prayed and been prayed over and was at complete peace with this decision. I knew God was in control.   I am happy to say that I came through the surgery very well. In fact, it was much less painful than I thought it would be. The only bad thing that happened was the nausea right after the surgery. After that was under control, it really wasn't that bad. My wonderful, loving husband was with me for 2 days and my wonderful, loving mother was with me the next 2 days. Everything was going so great the first week. I was dropping weight every day. My blood sugar went to normal almost straight away. I literally have quit taking my actos plus metformin 2 days after surgery. The highest my blood sugar has been is 137. But mostly around 100. Sometimes below. I can't believe this.   That is until, day 8 when I could go to soft food. I gained 5 lbs in one day. Granted, I went from having 400 calories a day to almost 1000 calories.. but 5 lbs?? for 1000 calories??? I cried all day. You see, my greatest fear, is that I will have spent so much money on this.. and I fail, yet again. Never mind that I had walked 1 mile that day and the day after. I still gained.   On top of that, I was nauseated and had a headache with jaw pain. It has taken me almost a whole week to recover from that day. I have just now lost 3lbs of the 5lbs I gained, so I am still up.   I discovered something else, my jaw pain and headaches are being caused by my teeth grinding at night. Something, that I have never in my life done, until this surgery. I bought a night guard for my teeth last night. Still in pain today, but hoping it is relieved soon.   I have been in a depression since then, I guess. It is amazing how things can turn on a dime. I had such high hopes for this to work out. I am just trying to remind myself God is in control. Not me. My blood sugar is normal. So, there are positive things that are happening. My husband says he can tell I have lost more weight than what the scale is saying. I suppose I will find out when I go back to the doctor on June 6th.   Until then...

Travel From San Diego To Oasis Hospital In Mexico

May 23rd my husband and I flew from our hometown to San Diego California. Arriving at 11:30 at night we decided to get a hotel at the Sheraton Hotel and Marina and wait till the following morning to begin our journey to mexico. The Sheraton was only a couple of blocks away from the airport. The rooms were nice and the beds were comfortable.   About an hour after we arrived and were settled in our hotel room I received a call from Omar (Dr. Kelly's Coordinator). He was checking to make sure that our flight had arrived and to let us know that Cecy (Doctor Kelly's wife) would be picking us up at 11:00 a.m.   The following morning we check out of our hotel room and waited in the lobby for Cecy to pick us up. She arrived around 11:40 a.m. in a white passenger van and picked us up. She was a little late but Omar kept in contact with us on her where abouts, so I was not concerned. Cecy was extremely nice and accomodating.   20 mintues later we were at the Mexican border. The van was searched at the border by the mexican border patrol. We didn't have to show our ID's to enter Mexico. As soon as we were through the border, we were off to the Oasis Hospital to meet Omar and Dr. Kelly.   Once we arrived at the hospital we were greeted by Omar and he escorted us to the admission personal of the hospital. Dr Kelly was waiting for us in the lobby of the hospital. Check in was a breeze, only taking about 10 minutes. After we were admitted to the hosptial Dr. Kelly and Omar escorted us to our room and the testing began immediately. (Chest X-Ray, EKG, Urine Sample, and Blood Samples) Many Doctors and staff came in my room and introduced themselves.   Xochilt was my first nurse at the Oasis, she was very nice and helpful. She was able to answer most of my questions, however she spoke very little english. She was able to start my IV with no problems.   After all of my questions and concerns were answered by the hosptial staff and Doctor Kelly, I was ready for surgery!

Frustrated

I continue to be frustrated with my lap band after three years. This is my first time on a blog EVER!!!! I really want to learn to use this lap band as a tool to lose more weight. I've only lost about 30 pounds during the past three years. My husband has gained 30 because of all my leftovers I give him when we go out to eat.   Breakfast is sparce...one egg (maybe), one bite or two of toast, maybe 2/3 piece of bacon. Then I work all morning on orange juice with a supplement added. I can drink tea all day. Lunch is like a cup of soup or maybe a half of a sparce sandwich and dinner well there is where I really go wrong because I'm hungry. I can eat 6 to 8 ounces of lean grilled stead. Forget the chicken unless it has sauce or is really juicy. I can eat a half of a baked potato but salad....well it is no more. Lettuce just gets stuck no matter how much I chew. And my old time favorites spinach, brussel sprouts, and broccoli are no more, If I eat these they just get stuck and then everything else comes up.   It's one day at a time and I'm ready to begin. I'm not crazy about the protein shakes but I'm not that hungry in the morning so they really aren't appealing. Help.....your suggestions are appreciated.

Still Learning

Recently I have come to understand that I am more stubborn than most people on earth.   1 cup of food is tooo much.Repeat, a whole cup of food is too much.Even if it is 2 oz of protein and lettuce and salad veggies....it is still too much.I feel too full after I have finished it,even with a break in the middle.   So,back to half a cup or 3-4 oz depending on what it is.   I will learn.   Today was a good food day.I have decided to stop the snacks and it wasnt difficult.Now I just have to get through this evening without snacking and I will be good to go.The exercise program is also taking shape now and I am/will exercise every day.   Now for the next ten pounds.   xxo

Day Five And I Feel Great!

After waking up this morning to the first day of the rest of my new life. I was thinking of all the stuff I need to do. I have not done any shopping for my food. I need to start a routine for the time I'm home. I'm not going to sit in front on the TV and go walk at the mall. With how good I feel this time is not going to be wasted. But for this morning I need to go shopping and go walk at the mall.

Talk About Some Ups And Some Downs!

Well i Know that i haven't written anything in a long while but well its been a crazy month!! I started a new job that i love so much! And it takes up half of my day then my family takes up my other half. Any ways I got a fill on April 30th where they put 1.4cc's in and i go on liquids for two days after, the first thing that i tried to eat after my two days was chicken nuggets that usually i have to cut into small pieces and they go down good and i usually eat about four. However this time it wouldn't go down at all no matter how small the pieces where. So i gave up and eat some re fried beans instead. After about a week i realized that something was wrong i couldn't eat any kind of "real" food and i was really tired all the time and i was getting confused and i also realized that liquids where not going down right and then i got scared when i went to lunch with my dad and nothing would go down but everything would come back up just fine. At first i guess i thought that it was all in my head until i stepped on the sale and it said i had lost 10 pounds in less then a week. I was freaking out. I couldn't figure out what i had done wrong. I know that you have to eat and i thought that i was eating a lot but really i wasn't eating anything again. I also know that something in my tummy wasn't right and the only way to fix it was to call and ask. So i did and i told the RN that i couldn't keep any solid foods down and i thought it was all my fault and i thought i would be in trouble but really they just filled it a little to much so i went and they took some out and now i feel like they took to much out but i am still loosing and that is what matters right. any ways at least i go back on the fourth and i know that it wasn't something that i did and it wasn't my fault and that takes a load off my mind. But it took me two weeks to realize that something wasn't right. When i went in the new nurse was like well why did we take some out your doing really good for a month 10lbs is really good i laughed and said its been two weeks she said oh well that's not so good. Any ways that's been my life for right now. Ill write more later but right now i have to go. Have a wonderful day everyone!!!!!!!! :wub:

10 Days Til Surgery!

My surgery date is June 5th. I start my preop liquid protein diet on Tuesday. Am I wrong to feel like I want to eat everything I know I won't be able to eat anymore in the next couple of days? That's how I feel right now. My post surgery diet will be very restricted. First 2 weeks clear liquids. Weeks 3-8 add protein shakes and strained cream of soups. Week 9 can start adding soft blenderized foods but still at a practically pale pourable consistency. Week 10 can start chewing foods to pasty consistency. My doctor believes in letting the stomach heal lol which is a good thing. Sleeve patients diets are the most restricted out of the 3 surgeries. I've gotten my post op meds and foods mostly chicken broth and crystal light lol. Now I just have to get my binder and I'm ready!!!

Upper Gi Test.

Had to do a upper GI test yesterday. Not to bad but the barium drink is wanting in texture (uuggghhh). Drank one bottle as told and all was fine. Then you have to wait for your stomach to release so they can see the mix go into the intestine. But of course since they said no eating or drinking after midnight I was very dehydrated. So we wait and check, wait and check, wait and check. Nothing just sat there and would not move, told ya I needed a drink of water. So the say just a minute and they mix up another bottle of plaster of Paris ( that was the consistency). Wonderful! Yuck! Yuck! Finally, about 5 more minutes the stomach releases an I can now go. Thanks alot. My stomach feel like a brick, only good part was for the rest of the day no hunger and did not even eat. Yall might want to patent that drink. If you can get it down you would be sure to lose weight. Of course one would have to like drinking Spackle.

4 Days Out

I was sleeved on Tuesday the 22nd. The first night seems a blur with a lot of drugs, best night so far. I've only had one period in 2 years and of course I would start a mega one the night of surgery. What a mess, a male nurse and male aid too. They deserve credit though, the did a great job keeping professional. The second day and night were much the same, a lot of drugs, sipping formula, and sleeping. Came home Thursday afternoon, now on liquid pain meds that just make me nauseous and the hell began. Couldn't control the pain, nausea, and drink enough fluids. Started having diarrhea that evening, weight coming home 258, weight Friday 8 am 253. Dehydrated, nauseated, dizzy, and in pain I was told to go to the ER by my surgeon's office. Spent the day getting fluids and meds then came home around 4pm. No much has changed since Friday, but I am determined to drink protein fluids and slowly heal.   Today has me questioning everything. It's too late, but that doesn't stop the thoughts. My family is very concerned for me, but I can see in that they also want to say, "you chose this!" I hope that in some weeks to come I will be happy I chose this again, today it feels like an insane choice. I can never go back and I'd give anything today to not hurt when I swallow something. Let's hope tomorrow is better.

A funny thing happend while I was loosing weight
 

Stop Playing With My Emotions

As always, this is a comic view of my weight loss.....though the story is true, it has been changes a little in order to find the comical side of things. Enjoy!!!!           My scale can not decide what number it wants to show me. It goes down, then back up, then down again. It is worse than any yo-yo I've ever owned. At least with the yo-yo, at some point it stays down because I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to using one. I can't seem to figure out why my weight won't make up its mind. Nothing has changed in my eating habits but for some reason my weight loss has decided to take a vacation and it didn't tell me where it was going. I am not sure why why it decided to leave now, we were getting along so well. I would tell the scale and weight loss how happy I was to see them, and they would keep going down. Positive reinforcement seemed to work. Now, the numbers go up and then down but never back to where it's last lowest number was. I have continued to tell the scale and the numbers that it's alright, I understand, and that when they are ready they will begin to fall again. However, that's not helping.   So now I am thinking that negative reinforcement may help. Problem is, the only thing I can think of would be handing my scale back over to my husband and the only person that feels the affect of that is me. And, as you know I've worked really hard to get my scale privileges back. I've been very good not obsessing and/or weighing myself daily. I weigh myself every other day or every three days. That seemed to work...until now. I was getting good results and was a happy camper as I watched the numbers go down...down...down. That's not the case now. This camper is so not happy.     The numbers have jumped up and down with in a ten pound radius. I can't make any sense of it. I thought about the fact that I'm gaining muscle, but that's been the case since the beginning. I've thought about it being that time of the month, or that I'm constipated, but that offers little encouragement. So, now I am starting to think that maybe my body knew how happy I was becoming with it and wasn't used to all the positive thoughts so it decided to protest. Kind of like a teenager that begins getting bad grades after people tell him/her how smart he/she is. Kind of like self sabotage. But, I'm not sabotaging anything. I eat around 800-1000 calories a day. I get my protein in and I've begun working on getting my fruits and veggies in as well. So, I have decided my scale is wrong. It has to be. There is no other reason for it to be the way it is. If it wasn't wrong, it wouldn't keep giving me all these different numbers. I've been nice to it. I've told it how happy I am to have it in my life. Then BAM, it goes and does this to me. So, I've decided I'm going to ignore it. I'm not going to spend anytime with it for the next few weeks. That way, it can see how lonely life can be with out me. It also gives it time to think about the emotional damage it's caused me and then maybe (just maybe) it will decide to act right and show the correct (LOWER) numbers. Yes, as of right now, I've decided that the scale and I are on a break (like Rachel and Ross). But, if it decides to go find comfort elsewhere (with my husband), I will NOT take it back. Just because we are on a break doesn't mean it has the right to go give it's numbers to anyone else who shows it some attention.

Taking Those First Steps
 

Hiding The Scale

I'm one week out from surgery and honestly, I feel great. I thought I would have a tougher time not eating - I can't eat mushies until June 1st - but I'm really not feeling that hungry. Every now and then I get that stomach growl but I've been following the diet exactly, so I know that I'm getting adequate nutrition.   I've been a little discouraged the past few days, before surgery I lost 21 lbs and since surgery I've gained back 3. I don't quite understand why - I'm living off liquids for goodness sakes! - but I know my body is just adjusting to everything and the losing will start once I'm healed.   I weigh myself every morning, always have, but I think I need to give myself a break. I look at the scale, see that I've gained a pound or didn't lose any after my great eating the days before, and get a little angry. I follow up with the surgeon on the 30th, I think I'll just put the scale away until then. I know I'm doing everything right, so it will change...just have to be patient I guess!

Pre Op Weight Loss Update

So April 13 I found out that I have to loose 10 pounds before my surgery on June 4th. I was really concerned because its so far away I am good at loosing weight but always gaining it back. Plus I am a sales rep that spends the majority of my week on the road. I have been doing liquids for 2 meals and on the 3rd meal I am doing something healthy, mainly fish and veggies. There are a few times like I cheated like all day mother's day. But I have worked really hard at making time to do at least 45 min of exercising at least 3 to 4 days a week. I have been weighing in at home and doing well, so I thought. I got on the scale at my YMCA and it said I only lost 3 pounds in a dang month!!!! WTH!!!!! So I remembered that my doc office said that I can come in anytime to weigh myself before the surgery to make sure I am staying on track. I weighed myself today. I lost 9 pounds!!!!! 1 more pound to go and I have 8 more days to go. I feel really good about it. I am starting straight liquids monday for all my meals.

One Week Post-Op

I'm 8 days post-op. Wow! Last week this time I was in what seemed like a bad dream. LOL I met with the surgeon today and I am down 15.4 lbs. This has been a hard week. I'm learning my sleeve. I'm in constant feel of doing something wrong. I'm not getting in enough fluids. I have to really work on getting in at least 48 oz. I met with my nutritionist yesterday and she reassured me that just a long as I follow the Diet Stages I will be fine. She said take it slow and not to push myself. My stomach is in the healing stage and I don't want to do anything to create a leak. She created me an awesome eating schedule for when I return to work next week. It guides me to make sure I get in all my fluids and proteins.   Prior to the surgery I was given a booklet by the surgeon that showed me the diet progression in terms of weeks. So I figured I would be eating regular food by the end of June. NOT! I really had a hard time dealing with this disappointment yesterday.   Stage 1 is Clear Liquids for One Week (Done) Stage 2 is Clear Liquids, Protein Drinks, SF yogurt, Low fat Cottage cheese mashed (chewed until the consistency of toothpaste), pureed vegetable soups (strained, no rice or noodles), thinned/soupy cream of wheat, thinned stage 1 baby foods for 3 Weeks   WTH - 3 Weeks????????   Stage 3 is all the stuff from Stage 1 & 2 and egg beaters (soft/mushy), tuna, canned salmon, etc; for 2 weeks   It's a bit of a head trip knowing I can't eat real food until July. However, I want to be successful with my sleeve.

Day 3

I had my leak test this morning which came out good. Then the Doctor came in to my room and pulled my drain tube out (ouch). Then the nurse came in and ripped the tape off my hairy belly to change my badinages. And finely Trish came and took me and another truck driver to the hotel for one more night. Then I get to go home.   This was a experience That I will never forget. It's the start of my new life. A new me which I will be able to play with my grand kids like I want to. And to be a better husband and father. It will all start when I get home tomorrow when I get home to my family.

I Did It

My uncle Mal died on Tueday. I was never close with him but i needed to go to his funrnal for my father. After in the Jewish religon we do something call stitting shiva pepole sit and rember the love one snd food is seved and others bring tons and tons and tons of food. This could be a bandest nightmer. the furit basket have stared to come somehow they become less fruit and more choclet and cookies all the stuff i would have gone right for. Then to make the whole thing better my faimly was there. I not great freinds whith very meny of them my 1st coisens are 15 to 20 years older then me and still look at me as the chubby kid in the family who eat becuse she sad, upset. lonely I am the only one who is bigger in the family.i looked around to see what i could eat there it was protine lots of it chicken salda and little tiny roll ups that when you un rolled with out the bred was the perfect size for me and i knew if i sat long enough i could chew it and i had tryed cold cuts at my house and had no problem. My cosin who have no idea what i did said to me why are you on a starvation deit don't you want the cookies cakes ect. I keeped a bottle of watter in my hands during all the cookies and cakes knowing i can not eat and drink at the same time. Finley my mom bulrted out Laura on a helthy kick she had Weight Loss Sugery she even truned down food from me lately. Then led to a bunch of question how long do i plan to do this ect ect. After my fear that i might lose my band on monday night i was not messing it up I need the band I also need those size 16 paints i have now and all those cookies and cakes will only lead to me being bigger and i don't want that. One family member was so taken with me she said she wanted it but did not want to give up things. I told her if your not willing to change your life and your relationship with food and work on this evey day then this would not be the right choice for you. This is only a tool and it will only work if you work the program right not if your going to screw with it

Up To The Next Step

For a woman that had so little self esteem and self confidence making small changes that are much needed are surprisingly not that hard (yet). For the past week I have watched what I eat and try not to over eat. When I used to pig out and even when full, still eat (at times until I was physically sick). Learning to say to myself "Okay, i'm done" is one of the hardest things for me. I have to say that I am proud of myself for finally taking control over so many aspects of my life. My boyfriend of 10 years also surprised me. Not only am I joining the wold of weight loss I am also giving up a vice I have had for 21 years. Cigarettes. John said to me the other night while we were eating dinner that he is proud of me. It brought tears to my eyes. On another note, I got the call about my psych evaluation. It's scheduled for June 15th at noon. On to step three. Step one being making the choice to make changes. Step two. the seminar. Step three, the psych evaluation.
